DENVER--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Referred to as "the ‘Citizen Kane’ of bad movies," “The Room” is
receiving a remarkable resurgence due to the popularity of James
Franco’s “The Disaster Artist.” Movie buffs across the nation will have
the opportunity to see auteur Tommy Wiseau’s opus on the big
screen when “Tommy
Wiseau’s ‘The Room’” comes to U.S. movie theaters on Wednesday,
January 10, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. local time. In addition to the full-length
feature, moviegoers will enjoy a special look at the new “Best
F(r)iends” trailer, starring Wiseau and Greg Sestero.

“We’ve seen a tremendous response to ‘The Room’ as a RiffTrax event”

Tickets for “Tommy Wiseau’s ‘The Room’” can be purchased online
by visiting www.FathomEvents.com
or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will
be able to enjoy the event in nearly 500 select movie theaters. A

Starring Tommy Wiseau, directed by Tommy Wiseau, written by Tommy
Wiseau, screenplay by Tommy Wiseau and produced by Tommy Wiseau, “The
Room” follows the story of Johnny (Wiseau). Johnny is a bank employee
who, seemingly, lives happily in a San Francisco townhouse with Lisa,
his fiancée. One day she gets bored with Tommy and seduces his best
friend, Mark (played by Wiseau’s best friend, Greg Sestero, author of
the award-winning 2013 memoir “The Disaster Artist”). Johnny screams,
“You’re tearing me apart, Lisa!”– and, with that, nothing, or no one,
will ever be the same.

“We’ve seen a tremendous response to ‘The Room’ as a RiffTrax event,”
said Fathom Events VP of Programming Kymberli Frueh. “With interest in
the movie at a fever pitch, thanks to ‘The Disaster Artist,’ we can’t
wait to bring Wiseau’s creation back to the big screen to stand on its
own unusual merits.”
